My Advantage Video Poker Play

[alpax]

I know nothing about Mississippi Stud or the discussion, but I have a question or two.

Assuming RS and jbjb do what they say they do, what is their motivation for reporting this on forums? I just do not see the point. If I were in their shoes and were winning doing these things, I would keep my mouth very, very shut. Why report? Why brag? Why always reference a "we" instead of a "me,", which would tip off casinos even more? Why go into detail?

What is the benefit of reporting? Is being perceived as anonymous expert on a forum worth the risk? What if digital PIs forensically identify these guys via IP addresses? Then their gigs becomes vulnerable both to copycats and the casinos. What is the benefit of spelling out what you are doing?

Who knows? The Zodiac killer sent letters. If I were in his shoes, I'd just kill people and be done with it. But that's me.

The more I consider this, the less sense it makes. Alan has ties to casinos. Technically, casinos could interpret the hole carding as purposeful cheating. That brings the entire discussion here into the law enforcement realm. That means computer forensics could be applied to their IP addresses here. That puts their gigs at true risk. Anyone really winning by doing this, and then reporting it, is either stupid or driven by weird anonymous vanity. I just don't see professional gamblers as either.

I'm guessing that the two of them have interest to bring somebody down who claims to have significant winnings from the casinos by exposing a more realistic way of winning (without getting into the nitty gritty) rather than a win-loss stop limit.

All of them have lots of money so that is all that matters.

Unfortunately, everybody can claim to have an advantage on the Internet. And if we keep reading about claims without proof the fiction writers will take over. Sorry, but I don't want this to be a site for fiction. If you can't give us details, don't try to tease us with your stories about your big wins.

At least when it comes to video poker we can see the pictures of the jackpots.

By the way, Jason has a picture of a his royal flush at Mississippi Stud. I have photos of my big fire bet jackpot. Rob Singer has photos of his $50-thou wins.

Betting $100 on Mississippi Stud is not uncommon. The card casinos here in LA that offer the game, including Commerce, allow $100 antes plus 3X antes for each card turn.

I am glad you mentioned getting two pair at Mississippi Stud. You make it sound like two pair is easy to hit. Frankly getting one paying pair of Jacks or Better is damn hard.

Yes I also agree or else you will be a target of false advertising which will be bad.

I do not think those guys will show the pictures of their chip stack since it exposes the casino they are playing at. Table game AP have to play with many different identities and disguises.

I do understand the benefit of being able to see the card, but what really does not make sense to me is that they want to avoid tables where the game is dealt by hand and go after places where card shufflers are improperly set up and see if the dealer will raise the cards high enough when distributing the cards to the players. I know shufflemaster went with the iDEAL shufflers in Morongo and Pechanga, but yes it should be against their policy to deal by hand. Yet disclosing one location where it is dealt by hand cannot be disclosed.
